Benefit Structure
1. Survival Benefits (The Three Stages)
This plan is unique because it returns the Face Value (FV) in three distinct stages while you are still alive:
- Stage 1: At the end of One- Fourth (1/4) of the term, the participant receives 20% of the Face Value.
- Stage 2: At the end of two- Fourth (2/4) of the term, the participant receives another 20% of the Face Value.
- Stage 3: At the end of third – Fourth (3/4) of the term, the participant receives another 20% of the Face Value.
- Stage 4 (Maturity): At the end of the full term, the participant receives the remaining 40% of the Face Value along with the Accrued Profit/Bonus.
2. Death Benefit (Full Protection)
If the Takaful Participant passes away at any time within the term of the policy:
- The nominee will receive the Full Face Value (100%) plus the Profit/Bonus accrued up to the date of death.
- Note: In Takaful, even if the participant has already received the Stage 1 or Stage 2 survival benefits, the death benefit is not reduced. The family still receives the full amount from the PTF (Risk Fund).
Why Choose This Plan?
The Four -Stage Takaful Plan is designed for those who want their money to work for them while they are alive—providing funds for a child’s wedding, a new business, or home renovation—while ensuring that their family is never left without a full financial safety net. It combines the ethics of Islamic finance with the practical need for liquidity and high-value protection.
